Rogue One - New Star Wars Movie Trailer

This is a side story, basically it is the story of how the rebel alliance steals the plans for the first death star. So is grittier as said, has new characters but a few familiar ones like Darth Vader. They always said the plan was to have the new parts of the full star wars story released every other year with 'side-stories' released on the intermediate years. So for example they were talking about one based around Yoda's life, although who knows what may come.

I for one welcome it as its better than the constant pale re-makes of classics like Ben-Hur, The Magnificent Seven, etc... or constant re-boots of super heroes
